Wash your tomatoes and cat out any places that are green or imperfect; then cut them up and put over to cook with a little salt; boil them till perfectly soft; then strain them through a colander ; turn them back to cook, and when they have come to boiling heat, pour them into stone jugs (one or two gallon jugs as you prefer).
